This is all depricated. -- jsw

Pkild expects the certificates to be layed out a certain way, 
if it's not layed out this way, operations fail in all kinds of buggy ways.

The Certificate Authority Directory Tree should take the following form:
(it defaults to /var/lib/pkild/certificat_authority but may be moved)
